Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their way of life while getting involved in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehab program that is significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment could be suitable for anyone who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will certainly not be sufficient for somebody whose treatment needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because most of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For instance, if someone has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to achieve success should they return to such circumstances each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and individual therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services 6 or 7 days each week on either a part-time or full-time basis for four weeks or longer in some cases.
